Embroidered Towels (Swap)

These towels are meant for a swap........... Very busy so no choice but to delay it for mths since Feb.


These designs are pretty big using the bigger hoop. Per design is > 30mins and this excludes the time spent for changing threads colors/stabiliser/bobbin etc. In all, if nothing screw up, it will take abt 1hr each and if something screw up, might be more than 1.5hrs for per design (exclude fonts). So u see, very waste of time. and u cannot really go away from the machine. Sometimes the machine foot get jammed or stucked because of the top stabiliser used. if i dont use stabiliser, i wont face such problem but the thread might 'sink in' into the towels and the end result is not nice.


Some threads are not well shown as the stabiliser hasnt been washed off/dissolved.

This is the failed towel. Failed because of the Fairy eyes.... something wrong with the design so cant be helped. Since I already embroidered on it, then just pass to the swap partner.


There is this tiny portion of the brown dino face outside of the outline... cant be helped le... i am now getting less confident embroidering on towels. They tend to move more on the hoop. And when there's outlines for that particular design, i'm worried that the outlines might fall out of the satin stitches... piang ehh.
One dino takes abt 38mins for embroidery time, excluding all the misc time spent. I dont think I want to do towels anymore if I can. Waste of time. Otherwise do on small items......... then this makes me think, what or why the shit did i buy this machine to waste my time?!?!
But well, it can do designs that normal machines can never do and i can do customisation. *self console*
This is the test out of the Ring Pillow I am going to do for my friend. I will have to enlarge the font size and figure out how to reposition the names.
